Definitions

  • the invention relates to an autostereoscopic display comprising a lenticular array mounted on a display panel.
  • a known autostereoscopic display is described in GB 2196166 A.
  • This known display comprises a two dimensional liquid crystal display panel having a row and column array of display pixels acting as a spatial light modulator to produce the display.
  • An array of elongate lenticular elements extending parallel to one another overlies the display pixel array, and the display pixels are observed through these lenticular elements.
  • the lenticular elements are provided as a sheet of elements, each of which comprises an elongate semi-cylindrical lens element.
  • the lenticular elements extend in the column direction of the display panel, with each lenticular element overlying a respective group of two or more adjacent columns of display pixels.
  • the display pixels in each column provide a vertical slice of a respective two dimensional sub-image.
  • the lenticular sheet directs these two slices and corresponding slices from the display pixel columns associated with the other lenticular elements, to the left and right eyes of a user positioned in front of the sheet, so that the user observes a single stereoscopic image.
  • the sheet of lenticular elements thus provides a light output directing function.
  • each lenticular element is associated with a group of four or more adjacent display pixels in the row direction. Corresponding columns of display pixels in each group are arranged appropriately to provide a vertical slice from a respective two dimensional sub-image. As a user's head is moved from left to right a series of successive, different, stereoscopic views are perceived creating, for example, a look-around impression.
  • FIG. 1 shows such a 2D display apparatus comprising, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel 10 and a backlight unit 12.

  • FIG. 1 shows such a 2D display apparatus comprising, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel 10 and a backlight unit 12.

  • FIG. 1 shows such a 2D display apparatus comprising, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel 10 and a backlight unit 12.
  • LCD liquid crystal display
  • the bezel 16 When mounting the lenticular array, the bezel 16 is removed from the apparatus. The lenticular array may then be vacuum mounted to the display panel 10. As shown in Figure 2, a modified bezel 16 is then fixed in place, again with a screw 18 for example. The bezel is modified so as to extend to clamp the edge of the lenticular plate 20.
  • a vacuum mount several problems exist in relation to this type of mounting, particularly when the lenticular array 20 is fixed to the display panel 10 by a vacuum mount.
  • the lenticular plate 20 is typically much thicker and heavier than the display panel 10, particularly for large displays which may have applications in signage for example.
  • the display panel 10 carries the entire weight of the lenticular plate 20 which puts considerable stress thereon. This increases the chance of damage to the display panel 10 or even the backlight 12.
  • the tooling used to implement the mounting of the lenticular plate 20 and the panel 10 typically requires a step 22 as shown in Figure 2, for example for a vacuum mounting method with a vacuum between the lenticular plate 20 and the display panel 10.
  • the invention is defined by the Independent claims.
  • the dependent claims define advantages embodiments.
  • the lateral securing member supports the majority of the weight of the lenticular plate when in use, thereby reducing the stress on the relatively delicate display panel and the probability of failure. Furthermore, the stack comprising the panel and lenticular plate is prevented from sliding during regular use and from vibration during transportation.
  • the display preferable further comprises a bezel located around the display serving to prevent relative movement between the lenticular array, panel and backlight unit in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the panel.
  • the backlight may comprise an integral raised portion located around the edge of the display panel to prevent relative movement between the display panel and the backlight in a direction parallel to the plane of the display panel.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of part of a known 2D display panel
  • Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view of an example autostereoscopic display
  • Figure 3 is a schematic sectional view of an example autostereoscopic display according to the invention.
  • Figure 4 illustrates example dimensions of the lateral support member according to the invention.
  • a display panel 10 is mounted onto a backlight unit
  • the display panel 10 may, for example, be an LCD, electrophoretic or other pixel display.
  • the backlight comprises an integral raised portion 14 located around the edge of the display panel to prevent relative movement between the display panel 10 and the backlight 12 in a direction parallel to the plane of the display panel.
  • the form of these raised portions 14, or support pins, is typically defined by the manufacturing tools used to fabricate the backlight unit. Therefore, it is difficult to change the dimensions and/or form in which they are supplied.
  • a lenticular array 20 is mounted to the display panel 10. The mounting is done by providing a vacuum between the two surfaces with a typical pressure/vacuum of 1 kg/cm 2 . The vacuum is maintained by a seal line around the edge of the mounting area.
  • the lenticular array 20 is typically formed of glass, although persons skilled in the art will recognise that other materials can be used instead such as a transparent polymer for example. Glass in particular is relatively heavy, and in the case of a large signage display, for example, the lenticular array is a very heavy component of the autostereoscopic display.
  • a lateral securing member 30 is fixed to the backlight at the exposed edge beyond the display panel 10.
  • the lateral securing member is fixed outside the area of the support pin 14.
  • Figure 4 shows example dimensions of the securing member 30.
  • the securing member comprises an upright section, through which a bore is provided for a fixing screw 18.
  • a flange section At the top of the upright section is a flange section, which extends laterally, so that it can pass over the edge of the display panel to meet the outer edge of the lenticular sheet.
  • the flange section extends inwardly by 12.2 mm from the centreline of the bore. This may typically be in the range 5 mm to 20mm.
  • the bore through the flange section is off-centre, so that it can be adjusted as a cam, to take account of manufacturing tolerances.
  • the clamps are put in position when the seal line (that surrounds the vacuum area) has dried.
  • the particular design shown has the upright section and the flange section each in the form of a circular cylinder portion.
  • Each section has an aligned bore, with the bore through the upright section centred in the circular cylinder, whereas the bore is off- centre for the flange section.
  • the height of the securing member is shown as 9 mm, and the height will be sufficient for the flange section to pass over the display panel and meet the lenticular sheet. This may typically be in the range 5 mm to 20 mm.
  • the securing member 30 serves to prevent relative movement between the lenticular array 20 and the backlight unit 12 in a direction parallel to the plane of the display panel 10.
  • the majority of the weight of the lenticular plate 20 is supported by the securing member 30 thus reducing the risk of damage to the display panel 10.
  • the securing member can be of a different shape and/or dimension to that shown, provided that it serves the same function and thus fall within the scope of the invention.
  • a bezel 16 is positioned around the edge of the display and is fixed to the backlight unit by means of screws 18, which screw also hold the lateral securing member 30 in place.
  • the invention applies in particular to display devices comprising a light modulating display panel which is illuminated by an integrated backlight.
  • the backlight comprises edge supports which define a retaining area for the light modulating display panel.
  • the example above uses a lateral securing member 14 attached to the backlight 12 to prevent lateral motion between the display panel 10 and the backlight 12.
  • the lateral securing member 30 may be designed such that it also functions as a lateral securing member 14 for preventing lateral motion of the display panel 10 with respect to the backlight 12.
  • the lateral securing member 14 does not need to be attached to the backlight 12 beforehand and only one lateral securing member 30 can be used to prevent lateral motion of the components 20, 10, 12 with respect to each other is.
  • a bezel is not the only way to mount the components, and other possibilities will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and within the scope of the invention as claimed.
  • the functions of the lateral securing member and the bezel may be combined into a single component which secures the components both in the parallel and perpendicular directions.
  • the components are mounted using adhesives such as glue present between for example the display panel 10 and the lenticular plate 20.
  • the autostereoscopic display according to the invention comprises a lenticular array 20 mounted to a display panel 10 which display panel is mounted to a backlight unit 12.
  • a bezel (16) is located around the apparatus serving to prevent relative movement between the lenticular array 20, the display panel 10 and the backlight unit 12 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel 10.
  • a lateral securing member is 30 disposed directly between the backlight unit 12 and the edge of the lenticular array 20 to prevent relative movement in a direction parallel to the plane of the display panel 10.
  • the stack comprising the display panel 10 and the lenticular array 20 is prevented from sliding during regular use and from vibration during transportation.
